I didn't mean to suggest that you do.

You're assuming there is a problem. If I send you a document and I wanted 
it to display in Comic Sans but you don't have that font on your system, 
so you end up seeing it in, say, Arial, does that merit a dialog box? 
Perhaps, but systems just aren't working that way, and there apparently 
hasn't been any great cry to make them do so. As for providing a 
notification dialog to say that the text contains < c, ZWJ, t > but that 
the font doesn't support it, there are no existing mechanisms to support 
that at present, but it hasn't been demonstrated that there really is any 
need, and I really don't expect vendors will be hearing too many 
complaints from users.



>Thank you for explaining the matter about the TrueType fonts.

You're welcome.
